Hello Ian;
I´ve bonded several panels but have never used something like you describe...
What I do is try to sand down to the minimum thickness possible the two areas of the panels and try to blend them together making a new lamination that covers all the area. The panels are so rigid doing this, but you have to do it on the inside and on the outside of the panels (both sides). The result is like having just one continuous panel. I´have also used fiberglass cloth to blend the panels this way, which is stronger. If one of the sides is visible, you have to spend a lot of time sanding!..This was my case also, and I put plenty of lawers (in excess knowing you have to sand later). the final result was a great and smooth surface. You can do this for example with a wing or any other big part of the bodyshell. The key is to have very thin panels where you are goning to blend...
hope this helps.
